Is there any way how to install just ADB without w

Question

I need to install just ADB on customer´s PC to connect to android phone and install apk there. And because of SDK size is it possible to do it without installing whole SDK?

Answer 1

just copy the following files from any existing android sdk/platoform-tools folder to your pc and it should work

AdbWinUsbApi.dll AdbWinApi.dll adb.exe

Answer 2

Unfortunately, due to platform tools being moved to a separate package the method above doesn't work any more.

Edit: The new page is here with no info: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_sdk_intro

But the old wiki is still available here: http://oldwiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK/Windows

Answer 3

Yes you can

Installing ADB in windows without Download Android SDK

1. Firstly, you'll need a program that can partially download contents of zip files from the internet.
2. Once that's set up, go to the SDK download page and grab the link to the SDK.
3. In the zip file, navigate to "android-sdk-windows\tools"
4. From there, select only "adb.exe", "AdbWinApi.dll" and "AdbWinUsbApi.dll"
5. Download.
